How Blue Can You Get Lyrics - Memphis Blues - Cyndi Lauper

Been downhearted baby 

Ever since the day we met 

I've been downhearted baby 

Ever since the day we met 

Our love is nothin' but the blues 

Baby how blue can you get 

My love is like a fire 

Your love is like a cigarette 

My love is like a fire 

But baby yours is like a cigarette 

I watch you step down on it baby and crush it 

Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get 

You're evil when I'm with you 

And you're jealous when we're apart 

Yes you're evil when I'm with you baby 

Lord have mercy, you're jealous when we're apart 

How blue can you get 

Hey that's a writing in my heart 

I gave you a brand new Ford 

And you just said I want a Cadillac 

I bought you a ten dollar dinner 

You said Thanks for the snack 

I let you live in my penthouse 

You said it was just a shack 

I gave you seven children 

And now you wanna give 'em back
